I was just driving into uni this morning, and just as i parked my car i heard Russ playing Alleluia by the man himself: Leonard Cohen :-)

I'm so happy now!!

Thank you Russ

If anyone would like to hear other versions rather than just jeff Buckley or god forbid, the x factor version.... please reply with links to alternative versions!

like: Rufus Wainraight's version

I'm so sad :-(

I heard Christian on Tuesday talking about how sacrilegious it was for X-factor to be releasing a version of Leonard Cohen's amazing anthem, Alleluia and then playing another version... by Jeff Buckley!

He kept saying that people should keep the X factor people out of the Number 1 spot by downloading the Jeff Buckley version....

It's not a bad version, but really not a patch on the man himself especially if you’ve ever seen him live! or Rufus Wainraight's version

Anyway, i rang the radio station, and got through to Christian & started talking to him about how at least they could play the Rufus Wainright version as well if they weren't going to play Leonard Cohen's one, and he hung up on me!!

I'm really sad now :-( !

Christian Hung Up on Me !!!! :-(

I've finished my exams (for this year) so i can allow myself some time on here at last!

Hello everyone!

I've been hiding for what feels like YEARS!

'Hate This'

hey...

I think we should also be able to list our 5 most detested songs too!

how about a button begging Virgin to stop playing a song that we change station rather than listen to!!

Hello & sorry i've not been in touch!

Barbara1 — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:47:00 +0000

Sorry i've been away soo long - i've been up to my ears studying!

But.....only 10 days of lectures left & only 22 assignments due in before then!! (HELP!!!!)

Thanks everyone for the hundreds of shouts & messages while I've been away, i just haven't been at home at all during the day, so just couldn't be online :(

Hopefully next term i'll be able to work at home more & will be able to catch up with everyone! Has anyone done any Christmas Shopping yet?

This is my new pet... Myrtle the tortoise!

Does anyone else get this message?

Barbara1 — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 22:57:00 +0100

When i'm listening to Virgin on my computer, every so often it says...

'click here to claim some Kudos....'

but if I click it I get a message saying

'you have claimed your maximum amount of Kudos for listening to the radio today...'

even if it's the first time i've listened online for a few days?

Very weird

PS!!! I can add photos again now!!

Summertime!!

Bored at work?
